[Histonet] Staining for heavy metals

[Weaver, Colin]

Hi all - At present we use at our lab a Rubeanic acid stain for copper
in tissue, have also tried Rhodamine but have never been totally
convinced by either. I have seen references to a Timm's stain for heavy
metals. Does anyone use it?, is it any good? Would anyone be prepared to
send me a protocol.

Thanks Colin
